Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: The controller fails to connect to the EtherCAT bus after
installation--what's the issue?
A: First check the terminal resistor module (XL-ETR) -- it must be
plugged into the last slave device on the bus, not the main
controller. Also, confirm the bus cable uses shielded twisted pair
(STP) and the grounding is solid. If it still doesn't work, check
the bus sync cycle settings -- 32-axis systems need a 2ms cycle,
not 250μs (that's only for 4-axis setups).
Q2: Why does the controller keep showing a power supply error in
North American factories?
A: Most North American industrial sites use 24VDC power supplies
with 110VAC input, but some cheap local supplies have unstable
voltage (fluctuating beyond ±10%). The XLQ7 requires strict 24VDC
±10% input -- swap it for a certified industrial power supply
(UL-listed is better). Also, check the wiring for reversed
polarity.
Q3: The I/O expansion modules don't respond, even though they're
connected correctly.
A: Two possible fixes: First, check the expansion module order --
XLQ7 only supports left + right expansion, not daisy-chaining
beyond 16 modules. Second, confirm the module model matches the
region: European equipment often uses PNP input sensors, so you
need the XLE-16PX16YR module, not the NPN default XLE-8X8YT.
Q4: The controller works fine in the lab, but crashes frequently in
a tropical Southeast Asian factory--why?
A: Tropical factories have high humidity (over 95% RH) and
temperature spikes (over 60℃) -- the XLQ7's operating temp is
0-60℃. Solutions: Install a waterproof dust cover for the
controller, add a dedicated cooling fan near the cabinet, and avoid
mounting it close to heat-generating devices like servo drives.
Q5: How to handle the certification issues when customs inspects
the controller in the EU?
A: Keep two documents handy: the CE certificate (EN 61131-2
standard) and the RoHS compliance report. Save digital versions on
a USB drive, because EU customs often checks the certificate number
against the official database. Also, make sure the CE logo is
clearly printed on the controller label (not a sticker).
